Costco eggs are the worst. Thin shells really weird runny yolks. They creeper us out, both the regular and organic.
Most costco food is a bit terrifying, bit these were the most obviously scary. Why anyone would but them twice is beyond me.
They just make eggs different at Costco. :p
I promise that Costco assembles theirs from only the highest quality chicken parts. Leg eggs being their best and most expensive. You’re buying wing eggs, which are known to be cost savers so poor folks can eat too.
Welcome to Costco. I love you!
You might have gotten grade A eggs, which are more used for things like baking and recipes where the egg is blended in with something to where it's more used as a binder. Them being cheaper due to a lower grade while still achieving the same end product and with the bulk amount small restaurants/bakeries would buy at any one time, it makes sense that Costco would sell them.
AA graded eggs are what you and most other are likely used to, as they are more intended for being 'prepared' as a primary ingredient like for a scramble, an omelet or even poaching.
They are older and cheaply sourced.
You can tell their freshness and the thin shells and extremely pale yolk tells me about their feed.
Funny that I say they are not good, and people don't seem to like that in a discussion about how these eggs could kill you. Lol.
I think it's more that the quality of eggs (at least in the US) is regulated by the USDA and their food safety by the FDA. And if they are trying to sell mis-labeled or past-dated products, something is wrong and needs to be reported.
